Panel on Diversity in Literature: Inviting the Quieted Voices to Speak

Come, join Bonnie Wai-Lee Kwong, Danusha Lameris, Susan Terris, Amos White, and Javier Zamora for a conversation about inclusiveness and humanity, about diversity in its many forms, about boundaries and fairness and political correctness. We want to discuss how we decide what to read, who decides what gets published, opinions about quotas, appropriation, identification, and nepotism. We want to explore how we, as literary citizens, can read and edit and write toward learning something new, how we can reach out to instead of away from those who are different from us.
